I am the founder of Brighter Day Therapy in Bethesda, MD. I’ve been coaching people in mindfulness and meditation for over 25 years and that work informs my therapeutic approach. I specialize in working with adults dealing with relationship challenges (finding relationships, healing relationships, and leaving relationships behind), as well as anxiety, depression, grief, and substance use disorders. People often choose to work with me because they want their therapy to be integrated and aligned with their spiritual life or because they see a spiritual or religious dimension as central to their challenges and solutions.
People often come to me with the idea that they need to change or fix themselves when what they really need is to change their relationship with themselves. Together, we work through the hard conversations involved in the shift from being their own worst enemy to becoming their own best friend. This improves all other relationships.
If you feel stuck and want to find a way back to yourself, a way to bring out your buried potentials, I’m here to support you. Therapy can help you get the life you want. There is no conversation too difficult for us to have. Please call me or email me, and we will set up a free 15-minute consultation.
